bet you can hardly wait til 11:45.

Actually not..I keep myself busy doing other things. I don't have intense cravings at all but I am bored sometimes.

Perhaps you need to wait until you are quit to report your progress because in reality....you are still smoking and this in in fact a recovery Board.

Sometimes the "Newbies" have a hard time with their quit and you anticipating a smoke after so many hours is not giving them much incentive.

We all used to reward ourselves with a cigarette. I remember saying "When I get this floor done, I can have a cigarette"..it seems to me that you are telling us that you 'reward' yourself by waiting till 11:00AM and after 11:00 it is OK for you to smoke. That is kind of hard to 'hear' when I know that no clock will tell me that it is OK to smoke. Count the # of cigarettes in your pack...are you really cutting back????

I agree that some of our Newbies may feel weakened by some of the content in your posts. When are you planning on quitting for real? There is no time like the present! I only smoked for 8 years and just got diagnosed with COPD and irreversible moderately advanced NEUROPATHY and I am only 25 years old. Even having ONE smoke a day increases your chance of having a heart attack by something like 82%, from ONE CIGARETTE! PRIVATE MESSAGE me if you need to talk me. Glad to help.

I think I can relate to the fact that you are proud to push the time back. I did this kind of crap for a long time. even while on the patch, thought after all day of smoking 1 put on patch then reward myself at night took patch off and smoked.
your foolin yourself just like I did.
try the Chantix, it does help and you have to make up your mind to just QUIT. I know its not easy to do but believe me if I can do it , you can. I for awhile did not think I could. I smoked for 41 years, and never tried to quit, even with doctors threatening me and getting emphysema, chronic bronchitis, it still took me a year to finally make up my stupid mind.
just put the darn things down
5 days smoke free today!

wish there was a fix it button, lol

I will not post anymore on this "support " page. Thanks for nothing all

When you set a date to quit smoking come back. It's hard to support a part-time smoker.

Sweet! Progress is progress! Awesome job!
